- Abstract
A compact pulsed plasma generator of simple design made of a coaxial cable with polyethylene insulation has been described. A plasma gun generates a cloud of carbon-hydrogen plasma with an electron density of more than 1013 cm–3, including in a magnetic field produced of up to 500 G and also in the presence of the background plasma with a density of about 1012 cm–3, which is produced by an independent source. The high resource of the gun and stability of plasma parameters from one pulse to another allows using such a gun in laboratory experiments simulating dynamic processes in space.
